The evolution of IP video with NETAVIS Software

Compared to the decades of predominance of closed, analogue CCTV systems, the last 20 years have been marked by a rapid digital evolution of video surveillance.

After an initially hesitant conversion to IP based solutions, physical security has long since moved into the IT departments. Furthermore, the increased deployment of video analytics radically improved the quality of video surveillance.

By now, video analytics also collects business data which vastly exceeds classical security topics and can generate important business value. In-Store-Analytics is becoming a standard application of video surveillance in retail, and also other industries are frequently using IP video for counting, classification and more.
